Just got back from a big trip a week ago and am already starting to daydream about next summer's Amtrak adventure. :giggle: So, this is obviously in its earliest planning stages, but I'm bored on a rainy night so here I am. I would like to very possibly go visit a friend of mine who lives in Tulsa next summer. I'm interested in taking the Cardinal from here in Kentucky to Chicago. And I want to have a rental car for the few days I'm out there. I'm thinking of taking the Texas Eagle from Chicago to Ft. Worth (Enterprise in the station with unlimited miles in TX and OK) and then driving up to Tulsa from there. Yes, I'm aware of the Heartland Flyer but by the time it gets in it'd be late to get a rental car and even later by the time I got to Tulsa, whereas driving the 4 or 5 hours from Ft. Worth would put me into Tulsa before dinnertime, most likely. So, is this my best option, or am I missing somewhere else I could drive in from at a decent hour? Open to suggestions/comments/other daydreamers.
